In the 2003 Nissan Maxima, it is recommended to use SAE 5w-30 full synthetic oil with a capacity of 4.4 quarts. Keeping your engine lubricated with oil is crucial for its performance by removing impurities, such as dirt and sludge. The cost of an oil change for your Maxima typically ranges between $40 to $50 for labor and $70 to $80 for parts. It is advisable to have an oil change every 7,500 miles. Signs indicating that an oil change is needed include engine ticking sounds, transmission shifting issues, shaking while idling, exhaust smoke, decreased fuel efficiency, and the illumination of the Check Engine or Oil Change warning lights.
